Abstract:
The current disclosure relates to methods and compositions for improving plant varieties through plant breeding and plant genetics. For instance, the disclosure concerns increasing the recombination frequency of a heterozygous trait genetically linked to a second trait within plants. Further, the disclosure concerns breaking the genetic linkage between a first allele and a second allele.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the repair of site specific nuclease binding sites by targeted integration and/or targeted excision of one or more sequences into a cell.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns the use of endogenous plant RNAi machinery to preferentially or specifically reduce transgene expression. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns specific reduction of transgene expression in seed tissues of a dicot plant.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a promoter from a Panicum virgatum metallothionein-like gene (mtl). Some embodiments relate to a promoter from a Panicum virgatum metallothionein-like gene (mtl) that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a promoter from a Brachypodium distachyon metallothionein-like gene (mtl). Some embodiments relate to a promoter from a Brachypodium distachyon metallothionein-like gene (mtl) that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 promoter. Some embodiments relate to a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 promoter that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 3′UTR that functions in plants to terminate transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.
Abstract:
Provided are constructs and methods for expressing a transgene in plant cells and/or plant tissues using the regulatory elements, including the promoters and/or 3′-UTRs, isolated from Brachypodium distachyon ubiquitin genes.
Abstract:
Provided are constructs and methods for expressing multiple genes in plant cells and/or plant tissues. The constructs provided comprise at least one bidirectional promoter link to multiple gene expression cassettes. In some embodiments, the constructs and methods provided employ a bidirectional promoter based on a minimal core promoter element from a Zea mays Ubiquitin-1 aerie or a functional equivalent thereof. In some embodiments, the constructs and methods provided allow expression of genes between three and twenty.
Abstract:
Provided are constructs and methods for expressing multiple genes in plant cells and/or plant tissues. The constructs provided comprise at least one bi-directional promoter linked to multiple gene expression cassettes, wherein the bi-directional promoter comprises a functional promoter nucleotide sequence from Sugar Cane Bacilliform Virus promoter. In some embodiments, the constructs and methods provided employs a bi-directional promoter based on a minimal core promoter element from a Zea mays Ubiquitin-1 gene, or a functional equivalent thereof, and nucleotide sequence elements from a Sugar Cane Bacilliform Virus promoter. In some embodiments, the constructs and methods provided allow expression of genes between three and twenty.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a minimal core promoter element from a Zea mays Ubiquitin-1 gene promoter, and the full-length nucleotide sequence elements from a Rice Ubiquitin-3 promoter. Some embodiments relate to a synthetic bi-directional promoter that may function in plants to promote transcription of two operably linked nucleotide sequences.
